radiator support??
I have a 86 iroc that is hit in the front. The hood/rt. fender are damaged and have been removed. The front nose piece was just cracked due to how the car hit in the accident. I have all the stuff out that got damaged, but the radiator support is bent. I was wondering if there is anywhere to buy these at? anyone know?
Thanks,
Mike.

Find one at a salvage yard is all I can think of...
I had a similar problem when a tow truck (don't ask...) bent my radiator support b/c the dumbass thought it was my crossmember and lifted my car with it I fixed it by hammering it back down in place with a dowel rod from above and by pulling it back in place with a comealong, anchored off the rear axle. I don't know if you're up for re-shaping it back into place this way (took me a couple hours to get it back where I wanted it), but this will save you some time. Just be careful around the radiator/condensor/transmission fluid lines/etc!!

Radiator support
I had to replace mine after a collision with the rear of a '86 Blazer in the rain {hence the replaced and primered front cap in the pics in my signature}. I know exactly the piece you are talking about. They have a company that sells replacment parts here in New Orleans. I believe they are a national company based out of Utah. Their website is www.certifit.com I had ordered a radiator support from them some time back and brought it to a body shop to have welded in. I remember buying from Certifit because the price was a lot better then the Dealer at the time. Maybe goto their site and see if there is a location near you or maybe call them for a calatog, I know they carried them a few years back. Also you may want to try www.nextgenparts.com or www.paddockparts.com. or www.classicindustries.com

LOL.......... Good thing I keep every reciept. I pulled the reciept dated 4/9/97. I paid 48.95 for the support and also 48.95 for the support beam that the headlamps bolt to. The part numbers on the reciept are:
CHCM50F0 - 82-92 CHEVY RADIATOR SUPPORT
CHCM25GO - 85-92 CHEVY CAMARO FRONT REBAR
Hope that helps.
Also, they have a phone number on the reciept thats toll free for the store here in New Orleans. Email me if you need it.

I'm sorry, I was mistaken in my earlier post. The upper tie bar is the upper part to the radiator support that the fan shroud bolts onto not the headlamp bar.
